Re: Cigar Gamefarm

Re: Cigar Gamefarm

Excellent man.........We love those Cigar Clarets too! Breeding them heavily this year! Thanks for the pics.......looks like you had a nice time there. More power man......lets exchange some pullets this year!

Re: Cigar Gamefarm

i agree with jon, let's exchange some pullets, i got my cigar broodcock with lancey's hatchcowan hens, & lancey's hatchcowan broodcock with cigar hens. switch1925 that broodcock will be with lancey's cowanboston hens & might single mate it with lancey's greylemon hens.
i saw the pure cigar jon fought in san juan, was impressed, changed my thinking, 1/4 hatch is all i need with that claret & probably don't need any roundhead blood with it.

james I played with the clarets this year.

as long there is 1/2 cigar on it.
I am happy with its outcome
but I will stick with blueface, Mel Sims hatch and roundhead with Cigar blood.
with rheads, it becomes more shifty. that is the only thing I find different the rest is the same.

I would like to circle but my other hen died reason I went to Cigar.
I will be able to circle next year with you guys.

someone already offered. told them its 50k pesos.
guy said "Sh*t that is too much.."
then buy direct from him bec. I wont sell you a feather.
Not worth the money. Its hard to get winners.

Kogs is now a Cigar owner as well.
Met him today and he was a very very nice chicken man.
He treated me and Cigar to a good steak with lots of chicken talk.

Re: Cigar Gamefarm

homer...i enjoyed visiting you and cigar...let's have a reunion again in araneta next yeAR
with all the cigar lovers...thanks for leading me to cigar...they are simply irresistible and i
can't go home without it...

Re: Cigar Gamefarm

switch1925, i agree needs hatch blood, for me the ruble was a good cross last yr, now that i have some rublecigar pullets i plan to put a cigar broodcock with them, i think the 3/4 cigar will be good. lancey gave me a hatch stag (5 diff hatch bloods) i plan to try that with the hens brian is sending over. i will also probably infuse it into juancho's lemon to improve the station of the lemon & increase the claret blood in the lemon. not this yr but next will cross with my red velcro & leiper from middleton. so many possiblities, but lancey's boston is proven cross with lemons, so any roundhead blood i use with the cigar will probably be that beside the cowan. jim

i think it work on anything with careful matching with good stations.
my rule of thumb from now on is 1/2 blood claret.
or it goes 3/4.
Unless I know its a proven winner on the other blood then I will
grade it to less than 1/2.

hotspur - its jon, jim, kogs, another friend of jon and cigar in the islands and my dad.

I just scouted for my father - he asked me to find the best claret winning blood i can find
took awhile - but worth the long trip for years.

all 5 of us has something in common with this blood.
it may take time. but we are on the right track
i have not met jon and jim yet but I am sure we share the same
bond of friendship. id like to meet them someday.

Re: Cigar Gamefarm

Hi Homer:

Where is this Cigar Game Farm? Is this drivable from our place? I kind of like to have those Clarets too. Anybody in the Phil. selling this now? Wish you more success in your breeding program. I'll be traveling thru Cagayan de Oro, Camiguin and probably Bohol....do you know anybody in these areas who have good fowls to sell?
